Time to retire the CSV?
Why is the solution to create an entirely new format rather than try to more rigidly enforce the a single CSV standard?

Because there is no way to perform that enforcement, becauae you say “CSV” and people understand “my old garbage” and you can’t fix that; and because millions of incorrect documents will yield a valid but nonsensical parse.
